[Meltzer] Final: Torpedo 4 – SKA 3. A late comeback bid by SKA fell a goal short. Michkov skated just 6:12 of ice time for the game over 11 shifts. Six shifts after the first period. Second lowest ice time among all SKA forwards, third lowest among all SKA players.

At least he got some playing time rather than sitting again but it’s a bit frustrating that he only got 6 minutes.
On the bright side, it’s progress.
They are trying to stump his development
So did the whole 3rd line only play 6 min? Like what’s the point of this?
Wait a defenseman played less than 6 minutes? What’s going on lol
Looks like his khl contract will get bought out eventually
First time I live tracked a KHL game
Watching the game he was a little nervous, I think that’s just because he wasn’t playing much and didn’t want to mess up. This can really damage the mind of a player taking away their confidence. I hope he bounces back.
Also SKA’s coach can stick to his “older guys play” as much as he wanted. But their pp2 was brutal for what I watched. Makes no sense why you wouldn’t try an offensive talent like Michikov on the man advantage at least.
Let’s hope he gets loaned. Cuz clearly the coach is stuck in his ways.
